On This Day: The Farhud pogrom begins against Iraq's Jews 81 years ago
The antisemitic pogrom followed the end of the Anglo-Iraqi War and many view it as the beginning of the end of Iraq's Jewish community.
This Monument, ‘Prayer,’ in Ramat Gan, is in memory of the Jews who were killed in Iraq during the Farhud pogrom (1941) and in the 1960s. (photo credit: Wikimedia Commons)Updated:
